"It still amazes me now that I could have formed such a strong relationship with my Thai family. It has definitely made me less doubtful of the strength of human interaction. It is something that can defeat all obstacles, even differences in things such as culture and language." - Natalia, 2006 Scholar and Experimenter to Thailand
Since 2004, the Council has sent students to Argentina, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Italy, Japan, South Africa, Spain, and Thailand.
